Lifeway Farmer Cheese’s live probiotics support gut health, and our cheese’s naturally creamy texture elevates these juicy, berry bites of heaven to a new level with its cloudlike, fluffy texture.

Blackberries are one of the highest fiber fruits of all, especially prebiotic fiber, which feeds healthy gut bacteria. Additionally, these beautiful berries are especially rich in anthocyanins, a class of antioxidants known to support anti-aging and skin support, along with heart and blood health benefits. Thyme is an herb associated with holiday flavor, but don’t think that’s all it delivers; it’s packed with anti-inflammatory benefits, along with soothing and calming properties that make it an ideal herb to use in recipes during the busiest time of the year. Thyme is also good for immune system support since it is known as an anti-viral herb and an anti-microbial herb.

The Benefits of Cultured Dairy for Better Health:

Research continues to show the importance of eating healthy foods, including cultured dairy such as kefir, for optimal digestion and gut health, a strong immune system, and to support the microbiome. Fermented foods like kefir hold important value in this line of research due to the link between the gut-brain axis and overall health. Specifically, kefir has been shown to help diversify the microbiome, improve digestion, reduce inflammationsupport healthier blood sugar levels, and improve satiety since the bioavailable protein it contains triggers the release of GLP-1.

Lifeway Kefir is packed with a variety of vital nutrients important for overall health, including bone and muscle health; these include vitamin D3, K, calcium, and vitamin B12. Along with our probiotic-rich kefir, Lifeway also offers artisan-made Farmer Cheese, a creamy, high-protein cheese made with live and active cultures to support healthy muscles and a healthy microbiome. Lifeway Farmer Cheese is easy to spread, free of gums and thickeners, and contains no added salt or sugar for optimal health benefits.
